    fantastic! could you give me more details on your front glass install? remember i cut mine and installed with an original seal, but you told me yours was different. would like to know how the trim around the front glass is held one too.

    your car is looking great!

    Not to try to beat a dead horse, but, getting back to the front glass, Nobody around here will touch front curved glass from old cars, they want me to find somebody that can use a sandblaster to cut it and not having any luck with that either, anybody have any suggestions how it can be done

    the sandblasting method is the way i did it. there has to be a sanblater somewhere near you.

    i still want to know more about the seal and trim install on the front glass that you used? inquiring minds want to know. :D

If the 9 inch or the motor is in krooked blame me:rolleyes: I pulled that shit off for him years ago. Kinda wanted to finish that car but it wasnt mine-glad to see you did it and it isnt sitting!
